PLANETARY DETAILS:
McCarron's Armored Cavalry
established the rule of Capellan governor Robert Thomay in 3057, then moved
on to a new assignment. Their departure gave Baron Luis Montong V, the scion
of the only family on Hsien of noble rank, the courage to reject Hsien's
"upstart government" and declare his continuing loyalty to the Federated
Commonwealth.
When Governor Thomay traveled to the island continent of Chone to meet with
Baron Montong and enlist that powerful man's support for the new government,
the baron treated the governor with great respect. He pledged to the
governor the loyalty of his people and his personal cooperation, thereby
guaranteeing Hsien's complete subjugation to House Liao. When the Capellan
turned to leave, the baron drew his laser pistol and shot Governor Thomay in
the back, then ordered his troops to throw the governor's entourage in
prison. Baron Montong then proclaimed that, regardless of the decision the
rest of the planet chose to make, his holdings still belonged to the
Federated Commonwealth and that his loyalty remained with the Archon Prince.
The remaining populace of Hsien quickly severed all connection to Montong
and most fully supported the new Capellan governor elected a short time
later, though only one month after Baron Montong's declaration the province
of Dendeez seceded from the Capellan government. All three realms continue
to exist, though they plague each other with daily skirmishes. The time and
energy the respective governments devote to devising outrageous and complex
trade compacts have slowed the exchange of goods to a trickle.
The planet of Hsien is
currently divided into 3 factional zones, the Dendeez, Chone and Koubai
continents. Most of the populous is on Koubai and supports the Capellan
Confederation, Dendeez has the largest military but they are largely
conventional. Baron Montong controls the richer Chone islands but he is
tired of the long stalemate on Hsien, the Federated Commonwealth has failed
and now he has decided to carve out a nation for himself and his children.
